At first, I thought it was the David Brooks who writes as an op-ed columnist for the New York Times.

If convicted, Brooks could spend rest of his life in jail.I'll believe that when I see it.

“This is another form of corporate irresponsibility, of where corporate officers knowingly ship defective products in order to boost the revenue of the company to benefit themselves financially,” shareholders’ attorney Bill Lerach told ABC’s Brian Ross in 2002.”
How ironic to have Bill Lerach talking about corporate irresponsiblity. He too is headed to federal prison for his ginned up lawsuits.

Nothing funny about this. This guy sold body armor (”Interceptor”—sound familiar?) to my Marines that had not passed the tests he certified it had. He’s a war profiteer and should rot in prison.

No.
I’m not laughing about that.
Of course this is deadly serious.
I was just laughing at my case of mistaken identity regarding the two David Brooks...

I find much more scandalous that he sold defective body armor to the U.S. military for soldiers and local police than spending 10 million on a bat mitzvah
Must be my priorities are out of whack < / s >

Well, we wouldn't want little Elizabeth to think that her bat mitzvah was a religious ceremony or anything. I mean, we wouldn't want her to think that it was a celebration of her taking on adult religious responsibility. I'm sure that by spending that much money, David Brooks managed to eradicate any kind of solemnity that might have misled his daughter into taking her religion seriously.

Rot in prison?
That’s good enough for me, as long as it’s Abu Ghraib.

Like the guy from Tyco who spend several million of company money for his wife’s birthday party, hiring Jimmy Buffet to play music, etc.
Send this guy straight to the gray-bar hotel for a long stay...

In 2004, DHB Industries was awarded a $200 million contract to provide body armor to the U.S. military for soldiers fighting on the front lines in Iraq and Afghanistan.It'd be interesting to find out who DHB Industries' biggest supporters were.

As long as our troops and their families are making the ultimate sacrifice, NONE of these contractors should be making profits - salaries and costs only.

Don't forget the investors, we'll need to lay down the law and make sure individuals and firms who back these manufacturers don't get any returns on their investments.

blade,
Nothing wrong with making a FAIR profit for responding to emergency needs. Smells like his profits were beyond fair, for a defective product. And then he had the Chutzpah to make a public spectacle over how “My product is superior to the existing” and he lied to back that up.
Tet68 (Were you there too, Tet?) has it right. The new rehabilitated Abu Graihb is too good for him. Is Alcatraz still available?
